#12 - The Myths of Healing Apr 06, 2022

“Healing is the relationship that we have with ourselves.”
In today’s episode, we’re diving deeper into the myths and barriers to healing. If you’ve been listening or have been following me, you’ll know that I look up to healing with such high regard because it is very important. Some of these myths won’t surprise you, but here’s to hoping that you can redefine healing and learn more about what they are not and how to continue to live alongside our wounds.

#10 - Living A Life of Values Vs. Living A Life From Emotion Mar 09, 2022

Emotions are subjectively experienced and oftentimes accompanied by physiological and behavioral changes. It is part of being human, but they are not meant to make choices and decisions. For most of us, the process becomes confusing because we weren’t taught how to experience, feel, manage, and honor our emotions. Tune in as I share what it takes to live a life aligned with your values.

#9 - The Need To Be Seen Feb 16, 2022

“I know you can do it!” and “Great job!”
These are the most common compliments we throw at people, and we almost always mean well. However, these words don’t always land because there’s no connection. The desire to truly feel seen is the biggest collective wound we all have, and it’s because it’s difficult to see. How do we make people feel seen and, more importantly, what it requires from us? Join me in today’s episode as we talk about this very important deep need.

#8 - Letting Go Feb 02, 2022

I’m certain that most of us have experienced moving through the ending or a loss, whether a relationship, a job, or a person. But how do we move through this with accountability and grace? Is that even possible? In this episode, I talk about the concept of letting go and the things that I’ve learned as I also went through a couple of these in my life. I also share how letting go is actually reconnecting back to ourselves and sometimes to a transformed version of us.

Is there such a thing as perfect parenting? Are there techniques, tips, and tricks to perfecting being parents? In this episode, I dive deeper into this topic and share why I’m talking about it—what made me talk about it. At the end of the day, our children don’t need us to be perfect or be perfectly healed.

#4 - Redefining Healing Dec 22, 2021

What does healing look like? Is it something we need to complete, or is it a practice that we must tread through patiently? In this episode, I dive deeper into the importance of giving healing space and allowing it to become a practice rather than a circle that we need to close. Part of healing is noticing the unhealed parts in our triggers and being responsible for your body and how you respond. This discussion is something worth having, especially during the holidays, so make sure you tune in and reach out if you want more help.

#3 - How Do I Want This To Feel? Dec 08, 2021

In this episode, I wanted to share a question that I often ask myself that grounds my healing. I will give you real-life examples of how and when I use this question and what realizations come to me to help me show up in the most important areas in my life. If you find yourself and your energy detached and misaligned from your values, take a step back—breathe—and then ask yourself: how do I want this to feel?

#2 - Showing Up Messy and Imperfect Dec 01, 2021

Are you showing up? Are you present enough to even understand what you truly want in life? In today’s episode, I wanted to share my own “song and dance” and the fear that came along with it. I needed to take some time to learn myself and truly figure out what my values are because our values drive our choices. Let me know what this brings up for you.
